Good morning everybody
george R R martin also thinks that fanfiction should be illegal, i dont think you want them legally enforcing their idea of copyright infringement!! chatgpt sucks but this isnt, like, a good reaction that will end well for fandom folks
in this case, that’s not our worry though!
the case being bought against chatgpt is specifically that it was fed author works without permission (copying their work with no compensation to the authors) in order to train the ai to be able to churn out material that could be sold. per the brief, “systematic theft on a mass scale”.
the problem here is that it used copywrited author works in order to create a product that could be competition in the market. it’s an ongoing argument with certain authors, certainly, but fanfiction has historically proven that it is NOT competition (thus why nothing on ao3 can even remotely hint at being in exchange for money).
